Entry #39

The project is knitted with cotton n. 3 and crocheted with cotton n. 5.

The trademark of the cotton n. 3 is Manifattura Primavesi but

I have no idea of the trademark of the cotton n. 5 because I got it from my stash.

I planned a SUMMER WARDROBE with patterns all created by me except for the yellow dress which is a very strongly modified combination of 2 patterns from Taiga Hilliard.

I made 5 complete outfits, including shoes and a purse for each doll.

Plus each doll has a hat or a hair band and/or a decoration to put in her hair.

• SAIGE has a knitted skirt and a crochet boat neck shirt.

• ADDY has knitted capri trousers and a knitted summer top.

• JULIE has knitted shorts and crochet lacy summer breeze tank/tunic.

• KANANI has a knitted and crocheted pretty summer dress.

• JULIA has a knitted cool summer dress.

All the sandals and the shoes are in matching colors with the outfits, and the same is to be said for the other accessories (bags, hats, hairbands, etc.)

Sandals, shoes, bags, hats, hairbands etc. are all crocheted.

EXTRAS

The picnic items, the earrings and the sunglasses are American Girl. The stand is a present from a friend and the clothes hangers are from the Furga Alta Moda dolls. The butterflies and the birds are from the TIGER SHOPS and the tree is a bonsai that is not anymore so much a bonsai.
